Jessie, she belongs to lower middle class where bread and living was always a matter of concern. They were not allowed to spent a money to live a single luxious day in their life. Every penny was saved and every penny was worthy. If the whole day passed like without arguing and fighting, it become memorable one.
Some times fights over food and little, little things become so scary, that it gave the feeling of living in a hell. Jessie was enough grown up to understand all this. In her family, she lived with her father who was a worker in a factory and earns less. He was most wrecked one, he had all sort of bad habits drinking, gambling, spending money after lottery just to turn his luck that had not happened till today.
Her mother was a home maker, a emotional and sensitive lady. Tears were flooded most often from her eyes, leaving rest of the family in great despair.
She keep on cursing Jessie, treats her badly and consider as burden to her family though Jessie was earning from very small age. When she was in a fifth grade, once they had visited to a toy shop. Her mother was selecting toys for her younger brother Rudde. She did purchased for Rudee, but when Jessie asked for the same, she started shouting and end up in beating her. Tears were keep rolling not ready to settled.
The toy shop was in the neighbourhood. Every time she passed by she took a glare at it. That day she was a bit happy to visit the shop in person. Her mother left her alone in the shop, when asked at the counter she replied, " Mam my daughter was stubborn from birth, she always misbehaved and asked for costly things which we could never afford in our dream. We tends to live in the neighborhood, she will came by herself and don't buy her things as we would be unable to repay all this...
The lady owner of the shop was startled by the cruel behaviour of the mother towards her child. That day Jessie cried a lots as she now understood, she was all alone and nobody understands her.
